Finding the Perfect Tree

This year, we have a real christmas tree. This is the first year since I have know Justin, that we have a real one. It was definitely an adventure. We couldn't get one that was too big, since we are working with limited space, so as you can see, it's about 6 1/2 feet tall. Not huge, but still good size.
Justin chopped it down and I watched. As you can see, it was a bit chilly here, even though it was sunny and blue skies, it was about 45 degrees out. Jeannette let us borrow the baby back pack so we wouldn't have to carry Caden and a tree. The good news is, when you cut it down, you just drag it to the tractor trail and the tractor brings it to the tree hut. Before we took the tree, they put it on a shaker, which got rid of any dead needles and dirt. Don't mind my outfit, I do have scarves, gloves, hats & jackets that coordinate, but wasn't thinking about that this morning.
Justin tied the tree to the top of the car and we were on our way.
This is the tree set up at the house. It's on a table so Caden doesn't get it. We also will have something in front of it so it's even harder for him to get it. Wish us luck with that!
